OngoingWorlds blog

Hi guys, you might have noticed that last weekend, the website was down for about 10 hours, which is the longest it’s been since launch :-S

I had to perform some fixes, which meant waiting on support staff at the hosting company, and ended up paying for a different hosting band to make sure the website wasn’t hitting memory limits. Which means, the hosting now costs more :-/ Read More

Hey roleplayer dudes, for the next 3 weeks, it’s only going to cost $5 to feature a game. Send me a request if you’d like to (click here). There’s only space for 3, so make sure you get in first. If you do donate though, I’ll make sure you get shown next month. Read More

This time last year, we were more than half the way to being funded. But this year we’re lagging quite a lot behind, so I need your help to fund our monthly hosting costs.

I’ve reduced the price of getting an OngoingWorlds mug, so if you’d like to help, send a donation our way and I’ll send you a mug!

I love OngoingWorlds but it burns a hole in my pocket, and it’d be great if you could help me pay for it! Picking either of the options on the donation page would be great – Go to the donations page now.

Hello you lovely roleplayers! I’m in a good mood today because I just did some maths (and those who know me, know how much I hate maths, and how terrible I am at it!), and I calculated that you – the lovely members of OngoingWorlds have funded the entire year’s server costs for 2014! Read More

Not long after I published a thanks to Xexes for donating, we got another donation. Wow that was fast! This time the donation came from DocAnvil, a roleplayer from the Borderlands Star Trek roleplaying community. This is the 2nd donation since my promise to send out mugs the the next three. DocAnvil plays in the S. S. Seiklon Axel a roleplaying game set in the Star Trek universe aboard a civilian spaceship. A post by a member of Seiklon Axel was a runner-up in 2011’s Flashback week competition (read it here).

Why we need donations

The web hosting needs to be paid for (there’s a cost breakdown here), and usually that’s something I have to do. But it’s really great when everyone else can contribute. Your donations really do help keep OngoingWorlds going.

Roleplayer Xexes has done just that, so I’ll be sending him one of our special mugs. Xexes is a roleplayer and has written several articles for us which you’ll find here, and you’ll find him on RPG-D here.

Keep OngoingWorlds funded

This blog and the OngoingWorlds website cost money to host, which means we need your donations to help towards the ongoing costs. If you enjoy reading articles like these for roleplayers, it'd be awesome if you could donate to our costs.
